Integrated Hotel Property Management System: Key to Success for Hoteliers in UAE

All-in-one and highly integrated Hotel Property Management System (Hotel PMS) is the most essential technology platform to ensure higher degree of operational automation at hotels. Today, with intense competition from within the market, no hotel can survive without adopting a smart and user-friendly Hotel PMS.

United Arab Emirates (UAE) enjoys a very special status in the Middle East region as a leading tourism destination. Apart from doing well in terms of business travel, UAE is expected to make up around 90% of Middle East’s tourism by 2020. Thus, the country also attracts heavy investment on its burgeoning hotel sector.

The Growth Story Ahead

According to a recent report by Tophotelprojects, around 54,000 new hotel rooms from 183 properties will be added to UAE’s existing inventory by 2020. Out of these, 56 projects/properties will be added to the market in 2017 and another 58 hotels will be operational in 2018.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi continue to top the chart in terms of hotel construction with around 47, 619 rooms coming from 155 hotels. While Sharjah will add 6 hotels with around 959 rooms, Ras Al-Khaimah will have 5 more hotels with 847 rooms.

Hotel Property Management System: Need of the Hour

A Hotel PMS should be highly integrated in nature and all the operationally required modules should be tightly integrated with each other. For example, with 13 modules, IDS Next’s FortuneNEXT 6i Suite of Hotel PMS is known Hotel ERP rather than just a PMS. As the Hotel Software is a single application, it runs on a single database, too.

Upcoming hotels across UAE can bring in maximum automation to their daily operations by adopting FortuneNEXT 6i Suite of Hotel Property Management Software from IDS Next. The Hotel PMS is capable of addressing all aspects of hotel operations including reservation, banqueting, inventory management, maintenance management, restaurant management and complete back office capability as well.

Go Mobile & Serve Guests Efficiently

With IDS Next, hotels and restaurants have the option to choose from our mobility applications that are designed to help them serve guests better and win over their loyalty. Hoteliers can adopt our Easy Check-in app to offer fastest check-in facility to their guests. Faster check-in after a tiring journey impresses a guest. And if your guest is happy about your services, he becomes loyal to your brand.

Similarly, we have Easy Dine, the restaurant menu app that efficiently helps users to offer their guests best dining experience. Through such app, a staff can take order from the diners and can send the KOT (kitchen order ticket) to the kitchen while not moving away from the table side. Thus, the steward does not have to waste time running around on the floor and can spend more time attending to the guests.
